Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be that number

The equation will be the following:

● (2/3)x - 11 = x + 4

Add 11 to both sides

● (2/3)x - 11 + 11 = x + 4 + 11

● (2/3)x = x + 15

Add -x to both sides

● (2/3)x - x = x + 15 - x

● 2x -3x/3 = 15

● -x/3 = 15

Multiply both sides by -3

● -x/3 × 3 = 15 × -3

● x = -45

A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by th
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The rocket hits the ground at a time of 11.59 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the rocket, after x seconds, is given by the following equation:

y = -16x^2 + 177x + 98

It hits the ground when y = 0, so we have to find x for which y = 0, which is a quadratic equation.

Finding the roots of a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0.

This polynomial has roots x_{1}, x_{2} such that ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2}), given by the following formulas:

x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac

In this question:

y = -16x^2 + 177x + 98

-16x^2 + 177x + 98 = 0

So

a = -16, b = 177, c = 98

\bigtriangleup = 177^{2} - 4(-16)(98) = 37601

x_{1} = \frac{-177 + \sqrt{37601}}{2*(-16)} = -0.53

x_{2} = \frac{-177 - \sqrt{37601}}{2*(-16)} = 11.59

Since time is a positive measure, the rocket hits the ground at a time of 11.59 seconds.

Which of the following is not part of polyhedron.
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Oblique. The other three are used to describe a polyhedron. They are related by the following formula

V + F - E = 2.

Where

  • V = number of vertexes
  • F = the number of faces
  • E = edges

For example consider a common cube, like a sugar cube.

It has 6 faces (f)

It has 8 vertexes (V)

It has 12 edges. E

6 + 8 - 12 = 14 - 12 = 2
